# WACO RE-EXAMINED: Film sequel continues charge of Waco cover-up.
WASHINGTON - Your typical movie premiere doesn't include allegations
of homicide by the federal government. But that was the theme of
Waco: A New Revelation, unveiled reporters and researchers of the
1993 siege that ended in the fiery deaths of more than 80 Branch
Davidians. http://www.dallasnews.com/specials/waco/1104waco1waco.htm

$ Voodoo will keep you Y2K compliant. Inventor/Priestess Madame Louise
claims her kit is all you need to keep your computer Y2K-safe. The kit,
called the "Netwanga" (US$12.95) is a satin bag containing voodoo charms
and software codes. She says that the bag casts its protective magical
spell when placed on a computer or attached to a monitor. Fortunately,
the kits are available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, other operating
systems. Madame Louise is also developing voodoo love potions for people
using chat groups on the Net. http://www.netwanga.com/
: Do computers work by black magic? Do y'r Net/System operations respond to
voodoo procedures? Do you prefer voodoo computing, voodoo economics, voodoo
sex, voodoo politics, voodoo art, voodoo robotics? Do Reptoids use voodoo?

Candy of the New Millennium"? M&M is the Roman numeral representation of
2000, get it? Now you know. Check out this corporate site. Oh yeah, you
can also register for a couple contests & proclaim yourself the "Darned-
Near-Official" something of the millennium. http://www.m-ms.com/
: Do you exploit the Millennia? Did you read the last line of this bulletin?

# POPE DEPARTS FOR INDIA AS FUNDAMENTALISTS PROTEST. Pope John Paul II left
Rome Friday for a three-day visit to India, where thousands took to the
streets of New Dehli to protest his impending arrival. "Pope go back, pope
go back" - http://cnn.com/ASIANOW/south/9911/05/pope.india.01/index.html
# India trip to test pope's outreach, powers of persuasion - buckle up:

you like to impose violence on members of other belief systems? Is it fun?

and stories from alternative spiritualities - Wicca, paganism, NewAge &
the occult among them. http://dallasnews.com/religion/1030rel2second.htm

# U.S. vulnerable to cyber attacks. WASHINGTON (AP) Reliance on the Internet
has made the nation vulnerable to attacks by terrorists who strike through
computers rather than with bombs or bullets, a WhiteHouse security adviser
sez: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561923783-076
: Do you promote your ideology on the Net? Can such promotion be seen as an
attack on anything? Do we all wage cyberwar, one way or another? Is it good?

# Alien Contact To Ignite Media Frenzy. ARECIBO, Puerto Rico. The Hollywood
scenarios always are the same. Soon after we make contact with aliens,
hysteria seizes a panicked public, or paranoid G-men in black suits and
dark sunglasses put a lid on the news. But in the real world, scientists
expect neither mass pandemonium nor a government cover-up if or when
intelligent life is found elsewhere in the universe. A media free-for-all
in today's wired world - coupled with a carnival-like sideshow - is more
likely. Fun fun fun: http://www.caus.org/pn110599.htm
: Are you ready to exploit the alien arrival? Do you have your merchandise
ready? Will the sideshow be profitable for you? Would you fake an alien
arrival just so you could sell more stuff? Will someone beat you to it??

# Kinkel's brain full of holes. EUGENE, Ore. (AP) A neurologist says holes
in school shooter Kip Kinkel's brain may be related to mental illness. A
scan of Kinkel's brain revealed areas of reduced blood flow or holes,
especially in the frontal lobe, the seat of emotional control & decision-
making. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561926075-459
: Is your brain full of holes? Is this a good excuse? Who put the holes
there? Are you being drained of essence, sanity, ideas, nutrients, life?
